Process

All functional ceramics for sale at this time are hand built. I use slabs of clay and slump molds to create my platters, plates, some bowls, and dishes. Cups, vases and some bowls are pinch pots. All of my designs are made with a carving technique called sgraffito. Some designs such as the vegetables, figurative work, daffodils, ferns and eucalyptus are also hand painted using majolica paints and underglazes. 

Care

All ceramics are fully functional and food safe unless otherwise stated. They are dishwasher safe but hand washing will extend the life of the piece. Do not microwave.

Sustainability 

I use recycled packaging and packing materials to ship out purchases whenever possible. I am happy to deliver locally for free(up to 15 miles from Iowa City), just send me a note with your purchase and I will refund your shipping cost. 

I’m always in need of small boxes. If you would like to send me a package of SMALL (less that 8X8) used shipping boxes and/or  jewelry boxes I will pay shipping and credit you $10 off any future purchases.
